Serco has been awarded three contracts to continue to support the US Air Force in Europe (USAFE) at their key bases in the UK, with in total the contracts valued at c.£24m over their lifetimes.
The three contracts are:
- Delivery of transportation and supply services across three UK USAFE sites in support of the USAFE 501st CSW: RAF Alconbury; RAF Molesworth; and RAF Croughton for up to five and a half years from September 2024. Historically referred to as the AMC contract (Alconbury, Molesworth and Croughton) contract, in an acknowledgement of the three RAF bases being supported, Serco has been delivering these diverse services to support the USAFE since 2003 and this was the fifth time that the company has successfully rebid the contract.
- A new contract for the provision of aircraft fuelling and ramp services at RAF Fairford for up to five years.
- A new contract for the provision of security services for USAFE 501st CSW at RAF Blenheim Crescent for up to two years.
Doug Umbers, Managing Director of Serco’s Defence business, said:
“We are proud to be supporting the US Air Force in the UK and to have been awarded these contracts to provide these vital Airfield Operations services. We have an outstanding team who provide a high quality service and who will continue to make a real impact in the coming years.”
The services to be delivered at AMC include traffic management office functions (movement of personnel/personal belongings/household goods) into or from the UK to worldwide destinations), cargo movements, vehicle transportation to include schedules and unscheduled activities supporting all US Armed Forces, furniture management services (provisioning in or moving out of household goods to properties throughout the UK), supply activities and vehicle maintenance, which has responsibility for the maintenance of a diverse fleet of c.400 US specification-vehicles ranging from security/police vehicles to fire engines.
FMJ has partnered with global worktech leader, Eptura, to deliver a webinar on Thursday 26 June at 11am to discuss Eptura’s 2025 Workplace Index that suggests that over a third of employers are proactively looking to increase office attendance which could result in a rise in the use of AI and cross-platform data analytics to help manage FM operations.
The webinar will bring together experts from Eptura, along with FM thought leaders on the adoption of integrated solutions that unleash powerful data analytics capabilities, leading to increased productivity and reduced operational costs.
